Sustainable transport hierarchy in layout design

Proposed development layout should promote the sustainable transport hierarchy which aims to prioritise pedestrians and cyclists, followed closely by public transport, to achieve high levels of flexibility. It should maximise future travel options, limiting walking distances and maintaining active and safe flows of movement within the city. Opportunities for sustainable and active travel increases the range of transport options available to users enhancing the levels of connectivity within the city. These can include dedicated walking routes, cycle lanes as well as public transport use and can offer a cheaper alternative to car-based travel.
